21 Excuses That Make Up Your Money Story

Is the money story that you have been telling actually a cover-up?

Could the reason that you have been giving for the lack of a financial breakthrough be really an excuse?

Your money story may be a cover that you have created for helping you avoid pain or to playing small. Or it could be that your ego needs to know that it is not diminished in any way. The excuses that you tell is your way out to feeling justified in your behaviour or the results you have been getting.

All of us have, at some point, made excuses. We give excuses to explain our behaviour, current situation or why we have to decline and say “no” to an invitation. We may feel obliged to give an excuse sometimes not to hurt the other party.

But what happens when you give excuses to explain away a choice that you are making, even if it one that keeps you small and does not move you positively forward?

“Ninety-nine percent of the failures come from people who have the habit of making excuses.” – George Washington Carver

Your Money Story Could be an Excuse

One situation that you could be giving excuses on centers around making money.

It is possible that you have trying your best to convince yourself that the mental story that you have been telling is true. However, the emotional disruptions that you feel regarding your financial situation, are saying otherwise. They gnaw at you even though you try to avoid, ignore or suppress them. What you have been experiencing creates a separation between heart and mind.

“Most people don’t have that willingness to break bad habits. They have a lot of excuses and they talk like victims.” – Carlos Santana

Well, if you are hoping for a financial abundance breakthrough, you will need to shatter the excuses that you have been giving to yourself…or even to the world. You need to decide once and for all, that changing your wealth situation is important to you. To resolve the heart-mind divide is to dive into your cover money story with a great dose of courage and honesty.

21 Excuses That You Give For Your Limiting Money Story

Is your money story causing you to put a lid on your wealth?

Your money story is made up of thoughts. Is it made up of any of the following lines:

1. I don’t want to make more money because I will have to work a lot harder.
2. I just do not have the brains to make more money.
3. My friends are going to ask to borrow money.
4. I don’t want to become a snob.
5. I don’t want my children to be asking me for money.
6. What if I make it and lose it? Then, I will be known as a failure.
7. People may like me more than my money.
8. I may be robbed.
9. I do not like to be known as rich.
10. My stress levels are going to increase and I will suffer in health.
11. I will have to pay at the highest tax bracket.
12. I will be a target for kidnappers.
13. I have to learn about tax, investments, asset protection and so on. I am just not ready to take charge.
14. My parents are right about me being stupid.
15. My partner is going to ask me for more money. I don’t want to pay for his/her extravagant purchases.
16. I have to pay a higher amount in alimony if I get divorced.
17. Why risk it?
18. I do not have time to do more.
19. I am not business-minded enough.
20. I don’t have the right connections.
21. I will lose my friends.

It is okay if you are already contented with having “just enough“.

But what if you are actually feeling bitter, poor and miserable about your current financial situation?

In this case, the reasons that back up your money story could really be excuses.

The problem with repeatedly telling limiting money stories in your mind is that you would be attracting the outer reality that reinforces “lack”.

What is truly the case is that you are emotionally burdened and you are allowing the situation to continue when you can do a lot better without the unnecessary struggle. Not forgetting, the law of attraction also works based on vibrations. Your money story, which is essentially emotionally negative, becomes self-fulfilling.

Is Fear Driving Your Limiting Money Story?

Listen in and find out if fear is driving your money story.

If it is, you have two options.

The first is to continue telling the same money story that keeps you stuck.

The second is to ditch the excuses and change your money story. The trick lies with embedding a new money story at the subconscious with one that is authentic and yet powerfully helps you attract the situation that will alter your reality.
